Something weird came out of last week's attack at the Boston Marathon. A few geographically-illiterate Americans seem to have confused Chechnya with the Czech Republic or, better yet, Czechoslovakia. (A country that went out of business twenty years ago.) Sure, I can see how they sound the same, but... really?

It seems that a few people confused and angry people are ranting against the Central European country. In reality, the Czech Republic is an EU member, NATO partner, and even a member of the "Coalition of the Willing" back in '03. For shame, ignorant tweeters! You might've just accused one of our last reliable allies of terrorism. If the Czechs go, then we'll only have Palau left on our side.

The ignorant have been calling on the U.S. to bomb Czechoslovakia and this has the Czech ambassador to the United States worried. He released a statement where he reminded Americans that Czechs are not from Chechnya. "I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate misunderstanding in this respect. The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities," wrote Ambassador Petr Gandalovic.
